On Windows, you can close tab with Ctrl + W. Closes the current tab. It sits in the Browser (Chrome / Edge) group and is one of the Windows shortcuts people look up most, so it is worth committing to memory — it works the same way across almost every app that follows standard Windows conventions.
Open the app or screen where you want to close tab.
Press Ctrl + W.
Closes the current tab.
